This electric mini-truck is the length of a Mini Cooper—but can carry as much as a bigger truck

Telo’s new EV can haul lumber or surfboards—and it starts at just $41,250.

Over the last three decades, the average passenger vehicle in the U.S. has gotten eight inches taller, 10 inches longer, and 1,000 pounds heavier. An imposing modern pickup can be so large that it’s difficult to squeeze into parking spots—and dangerous for people to walk by.

A new electric pickup from Telo Trucks goes the other direction: It can haul as much as a standard passenger truck but fits in the footprint of a Mini Cooper. It’s also more affordable. While an average gas truck starts at $61,000, Telo just announced that its truck, the Telo MT1, starts at $41,520.
